Nobels ODR-1 Review & Giveaway - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Friends, I had an amazing time time at NAMM. Bernhard Nobels gave me a Nobels ODR-1 overdrive pedal to try and let us have as a giveaway! This is very exciting! I've never personally used one, but I wanted to give it whirl because I have recorded many amazing guitarists that love this pedal. This overdrive pedal that will give you lots of tonal options and add an extra layer of versatility to your guitar recording! Plus it was so much fun to use!

[@iwantappledumplings6187]

Great pedal Warren! Thanks for showing it off so well!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Apple!!

[@utubehound69]

Your right it's responsive & very versatile sounds like a great O.D. , Love that lil Gtr army you did at the end. Great players make good gear sound Great! One of the more useable OD/Distortion I've heard but it might be certain players stick w/one style or setting. Great Job Warren as always.

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, Watchman4u! I really enjoyed the pedal!

[@inthemix]

Your guitar playing is actually phenomenal 🔥

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks that's very kind of you In The Mix!!

[@andresilvasophisma]

In The Mix I think you meant marvelous. Phenomenal is in Rick's channel

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha thanks Andre! Indeed MARVELLOUS! Hahaha

[@AMB666]

There's nothing like guitar gear. This OD is very cool...I can watch you forever doing guitar stuff! PLEASE do more about guitar😍

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much AMB!

[@chrismonaut]

I love the Nobels stuff. They are not very common here in germany allthough they were designed here. I still have a Phaser from them from the 90s with like a thousand knobs. Always kept it because its quite the opposite of my MXR Phase90 :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Chris, I am very impressed with this pedal! Nobels pedals sound amazing!

[@brosephthomas3764]

Sounds super gritty, and has a nice crunch to it!

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! I love it!

[@timvanboening9432]

I had not heard of this pedal until yesterday, and I am now bananas for it. I’ve watched videos showing it’s tone, and I am in love. I’ll be buying one ASAP!

[@demagmusic]

Jeez... right away in the neutral position I liked it! I usually expect to have to twiddle the knobs more than that for a good tone ;) Thanks Warren

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Demag, agreed! Sounded great immediately!!

[@ianlitovich]

Definitely one of my favorite drives. Use it every day on sessions. Great playing by the way, always refreshing to see a producer that can play well!

[@Producelikeapro]

That's' great to hear Ian!

[@lorencing]

What a pure distortion sound and the spectrum knob is excellent ... though it does fit a specific gerne of "rock".

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes, if you only use it in one position! Turned down it's really sweet for blues and melody playing, plus of course rakes and a little crunch!

[@alexadros2311]

Nice seeing the other side of your studio for a change :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks very much!

[@marioon2290]

there is no off position on the genius swith!!! saludos warren!!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha yes indeed Luis!

[@noisesoundtonevibe]

It sounds great! If it has Tim Pierce's approval, it has my attention. Thanks Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi noisesoundtonevibe yes, indeed!!

[@chrissoares23]

Great sounding pedal. Love the track you came up with. Wish you'd do a follow up video and how you mixed these guitar tracks. I loved how you spaced them out in the stereo field and could hear each guitar part. (Minus the mud that can come from mixing that many guitar tracks.)

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Chris! Thanks very much! Yes. I intend to eventually do a solo album! Haha This is without EQ, Compression, Reverbs, Delays...just the straight tone!

[@northof50now]

Warren, after 4 years of learning guitar on KZbin, I've seen all the pedal demos I can take - and don't want to see more. But, that was the best pedal demo I have seen in a great while. Excellent mixing and video editing. I believe you've surpassed Pete Thorn's quality. Excellent job.

[@ColinKilburn]

Bubble-ishous brother Warren from England California, Nice vid, cool overdriven.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Colin, thanks ever so much from England California! haha

[@DaveKingMusic]

Great playing and great sounding pedal! I want BOTH! 😎

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Dave! You Rock!

[@felipesazo9970]

Wow, you really got the talent, this is the ideal situation, a producer, mixing and mastering engineer that really knows how to play guitar, you're the complete package, I follow other channels but yours is really the best, I've learned to much with your advices

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Felipe Sazo wow! Thank you ever so much! That’s so incredibly kind of you my friend! I really appreciate it!

[@darlenesheffield9835]

Great pedal and great playing too !!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Darlene!

[@MrGuitarist9891]

It’s funny to see this video pop up today - I just bought this pedal on eBay and received it yesterday.

[@marcogman8905]

I like the Spitfire picture hanging on the wall behind you. Nice video. Great sounding pedal.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Marco, yes! I love Spitfires! Hence the name of the Studio!

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Great playing, Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!!

[@harmonystudios1182]

Fantastic guitar playing Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Harmony!

[@spitfiremusic3997]

Great pedal and playing Warren!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!!

[@guitardudeguy3139]

I have a 620 Revstar , great studio guitar sounds great. The pedal can definitely drive. All eight of you play well...!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Guitardudeguy TMark/Osh haha thanks! One of me is enough haha

[@guitardudeguy3139]

Produce Like A Pro I think one was trying to outdo the other...showing the (inner struggle of the artist)...lol...#eightisenough

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha it could be 8th note at 160bpm! Haha

[@Producelikeapro]

and yes, indeed, 8 of me is far more than enough!! Haha #justaskmywife! Ha

[@guitardudeguy3139]

Thanks sooo much for your videos, I still have alot to learn..(old school) ,It gets a bit overwhelming with all the new tech...I'm behind...but thank you Warren, I really appreciate what you do!

[@adriataylor7534]

awesome video and your guitar playing is sick! 🤘and that track sounded great!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thank you very much Adria!! That's very kind of you!

[@trollstjerne]

Awesome playing Warren! Pedal sounds really great!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@eloyo79]

Love that sound! it sounds very clean

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Edward! You Rock!

[@alcoyot]

I don't think I will ever find one that I like more than my 80s vintage boss orange distortion.

[@Producelikeapro]

For a Distortion Pedal the DS-1 takes some beating! This Overdrive Pedal though is pretty special!

[@ScottLeeOfficialWebsite]

Agreed, nice guitar playing Warren. 🎸😄👍🏻

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Scott!

[@drifting202020]

Wow, man.. you're a much better guitar player than I thought!! Shredding!!!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Patrick Foster as shucks that’s very kind! That’s just a quick 20 min idea! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@drifting202020]

I definitely did :) really like how you mixed it, too.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Patrick! That's pretty much every part at the same volume, no EQ, no Reverb, no Delay and no compression, just the sound of the pedal through the amp!

[@drifting202020]

I see, ok. What a pure way to showcase the pedal. Less really is more sometimes!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Patrick Foster exactly! I wanted to play bass but realized even that would have blocked the guitar sound somewhat! Thanks for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!

[@EricGPLAP]

This pedal looks and sounds amazing!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Eric Gonzalez yes! Amazing pedal!

[@johnmorrison8618]

Very tasty pedal, I've heard Tim Pierce rave about the Nobels plenty. & if its good enough for him...

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi John, yes, amazing pedal and agreed, good enough for Tim then amazing for me!

[@kevinmusso2397]

Thanks for mentioning the lightning. I was hearing high pitch whistling

[@MatthewDiamante]

Very cool, Warren! Sounds great! ... now let me win! haha

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha enter to win Matthew!

[@1900stratoliner]

Sounds good, I like the tech 21 Gt2. Like the Aerosmith like riff.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much! Glad you like my Aerosmith influenced riff! Haha

[@demodeiowa]

Amazing review. I'd like to try it on bass n see what it sounds like as bass overdrive

[@Producelikeapro]

That's a great idea! I really should have done that! I only had 20 mins to film! Haha If I had only spent 21 mins! Haha

[@demodeiowa]

haha would have been nice but this review was already awesome anyway ;) thanks again!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!

[@georgekay372]

God I'm getting ideas for songs just by hearing that tone... Guess I'll spend the rest of my day modding an old DS-1 to sound similar and recording that.

[@Producelikeapro]

That's fantastic to hear George!!

[@lazarosantos9730]

Very good guitar pedal

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Lazaro! Thanks ever so much!

[@musicmanerdem]

Nice sounding pedal and good playing!

[@Producelikeapro]

Erdem Şiren thanks ever so much!!

[@iwantappledumplings6187]

amazing playing warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Apple!

[@dorielementary]

Have you ever done any work in Nashville? A lot of the session guys out there use the Nobels ODR-1.

[@tekbowsound252]

Can somebody explain to me why I get better results by overdriving the signal just a bit over the clean channel of high gain amplifiers rather than using dirty channels? I freaking love this pedal.

[@BillyBlaze7]

If you ever get the chance check out the OKKO Diablo Gain Plus OD pedal, handmade in Germany and I have not found anything that sounds as good and is as versatile. I have to get another one, I have their Greg Hilden signature Diablo but I don't like it as much. I use their Coca compressor pedal on every note I play.....incredible pedals.

[@Producelikeapro]

Great! Thanks for the tip Billy!! I will check it out!

[@caspermaster-com]

Please use this instead of your other brittle favourite;)

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha I don't ever sue Overdrive pedals! But now maybe I will!!

[@caspermaster-com]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHvVp2trZtKWqJIm42s ;)

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha that's a very cool Fuzz pedal!

[@caspermaster-com]

definitions:p

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha ok! One is an amp overdrive emulation! The other is a FUZZ Box! Haha

[@miguelluismusic4181]

You’re the best Warren... 💫🎼💯 hits coming soon...

[@Producelikeapro]

Aw shucks ever so much!

[@spooky_lights]

Love it! New one for my wishlist!

[@Producelikeapro]

Fantastic Jorge!

[@amedeo1993]

Great Review Warren, excellent tips also!! Thank you Sir!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Amedeo, thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!

[@j-fquevillon8134]

That sounds great!!!!! And great playing, I like the guitar too :D

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Jean-Francoise! Yes, I love this pedal and guitar! The guitar is a Yamaha RevStar!

[@j-fquevillon8134]

Crazy good looking guitar and not that expensive also :O And well your playing/ set-up really help the sound of it ;) By the way, thank you so much for all your good tutorial, being a guitarist in a band and the guy who record and mix at home you are such an inspiration! Cheers

[@Producelikeapro]

I know! I'm really impressed with the guitar! I use it every day!

[@Silakov1987]

Hi, Warren! Perfect tone and playing! What's the model of RevStar you used there?

[@Producelikeapro]

Great question! I'm not in front of it, at Gavin Lurssen's as we speak! However it was a Japanese model!

[@martingallo2372]

Dope playing in the end!!! love it :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Martin!

[@martingallo2372]

You're welcome. Love your channel! :)

[@Producelikeapro]

AW shucks thanks ever so much Martin! You Rock!

[@Vesohag]

ROCK ON, WARREN!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!!

[@midnightAlchemistOfficial]

Damn Warren! I thought I was listening to Mike Oldfield. Loved the pedal, loved the guitar overlayed tracks. Do I hear a Tubular Bells IV collaboration with Mike Oldfield? ;) Thanks for the fun Warren.

[@Producelikeapro]

That would be amazing! Mike Oldfield is incredible!!

Hi Warren! Loved this video! Great playing. I've been following you for a while now and I make music too. Learned mixing by your videos and would love if you'd check me out and tell me what you think! Regards

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Andre! I really appreciate it!

[@joost6589]

Your last video (Sting Medley) is mixed quite well. Good quality man! I subbed.

[@themagicmaker1]

subbed!

[@MartinLuxen]

Awesome pedal! I love my TS9, but this might be a nice extra OD for different tones. What amp did you use it on?

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Martin Luxen Marvellous pedal! I used my Marshall JMP set clean!

[@splashesin8]

I think this might be a good one to share with my buddy. Get her hooked, on your way of finding the spot. 😉

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks Audrey!

[@pulsewhitey]

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Gary! Thanks very much! Yes, I love the pedal!

[@yanthoweepinghorn6732]

Digging the new intro :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Yantho WeepingHorn thanks ever so much!!

[@torindavies1176]

Hey, nice man! Not sure I dig the intro music though, what is it?

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha I wrote that! It's me playing!

[@brianbodie1783]

Sorry to bother you warren.I haven't been able to enter the last two raffles.Did you change something in the link or is my computer too old?

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Brian, what issue are you having?

[@harrysearia1784]

That's some tasty playing Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks very much Harry!!

[@musicting2767]

Can UK residents win giveaways?

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes they can! We ship worldwide! We just shipped to Brasil!

[@musicting2767]

Produce Like A Pro excellent! I'll keep trying :)

[@Producelikeapro]

Fantastic!!

[@AlbertoMartinezDelRio]

Great pedal for the price

[@Producelikeapro]

I agree 100% Alberto! You Rock!

[@claudius3124]

That was fun! Thank You! ;-)

[@Producelikeapro]

Claudius LeBlanc thanks very much!

[@acommon]

I might've missed it, but what type of amp are you using? Maybe a Fender?

[@Producelikeapro]

HI Alex, it was a Marshall JMP set very clean!

[@monkeyxx]

that queen type of thing at the end was mahhhvelous

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much! Glad you enjoyed the quick song idea at the end!

[@monkeyxx]

I wish people would overdub/harmonize more... and I am pointing fingers at myself at the same time

[@Producelikeapro]

I love doing harmonies! Brian May is a huge hero of mine!

[@tomvlahovic01]

You are à gréât guitar player! Thanks

[@Producelikeapro]

Tom Vlahovic aw shucks! Thanks ever so much!!

[@mattmcqueen8231]

Great sounding pedal!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks very much Matt! Agreed! Fantastic pedal!

[@shohamcohen3752]

Love you

[@Producelikeapro]

AW shucks thank ever so much!

[@GrahamCoxonOfficial]

right up my Strasse! mm.. night have to get one of those! mega playing, warren! that was nuts!x

[@Producelikeapro]

Wow thanks ever so much Graham! That really means a lot to me my friend!

[@freddocaneband]

ok, man! It sounds really awesome and you're an amazing guitarist, almost as good as me, of course I'm joking :D but what's the use to having a remote switch control?

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha thanks ever so much! Yes, a great pedal, so much fun!!

[@nobelsofficial5766]

You can use the pedal via switching system, for example in a rack...

[@Producelikeapro]

Nobels Official thanks ever so much!!

[@Shuzies]

How does it sound on bass?....rc

[@Producelikeapro]

Great question! I am going to try it!

[@utubehound69]

I have Boss's 1st Bass Chorus petals & I like it better than Boss's other chorus petals w/Gtr in some cases. I'm sure it would ok w/a tweak of that middle mystery knob / eq. I used a bass amp to play thru for a few years w/a Vox Super Fuzz from the 60's sounded great. If it sounds good then it is good.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Watchman4u, haha mystery middle knob! I love the Electro Harmonix Big Muff on Bass!

[@nuoutdoor]

this pedal sounds great

[@Producelikeapro]

I agree! Huge fan!

[@DubzCo]

Go Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much!!

[@garyabbot4659]

most pedals are great now. agree about an overdrive pedal being dynamic to match your playing. I like a crazy fuzz sometimes but that's very specific use. overdrive for leads and interesting rhythm everday. Why don't you do a guitar solo album? Get some musicians mates. make it a youtube video.

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Gary, yes, solo album coming soon!

[@Intrinsic.Recording]

Hey I asked about that ...you said no....You should though man. Cool ideas you have there, on most every vid.

[@Producelikeapro]

I will make the solo album soon enough j pm!!

[@Intrinsic.Recording]

It's not like you've been busy or anything...

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha exactly! I'll try to find time!

[@zer0tzer0]

If I hire you as a producer can I get you as a studio musician as well?

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi T Zero yes you can! I play multiple instruments on most of my recordings!

[@jonasbambrough1790]

AAAAAWWWWWW YEAH!!! SHRED THAT NASTY THANG!!!! (quite tasty)

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Jonas Bambrough thanks ever so much!! Yes, amazing pedal and Guitar!

[@rolandmarckwort]

Nice!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Roland, thanks!

[@thekaratesuit]

did the battery run out? 😂

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha when!?

[@thekaratesuit]

when you had ye olde power supply plugged in at the end... does sound nice and tubey though - is it expensive?

[@Producelikeapro]

Haha yes, power supply to the rescue! Yes, amazing pedal!

[@monkeyxx]

you should try the Boss OD-3 if you like this one!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Yes! Love that pedal as well! This one is pretty special!

[@shaman5150]

Suena precioso.
